Shipping container holiday rentals in Central America

I'm not a hostel person :), but needed to stay overnight for my next day flight. The host was very welcoming and helpful, they have a nice group chat idea for communication within hostel guests. The area is also as described, a lot of nice seating places, chilling spots. It was quiet and clean. Very close to the main road to get a ride. I can't speak about the room I booked, as I got an upgrade due to some maintenance issues and the one I got was with kitchen and seating area and was very nice. The place is not new, but is well maintained. I got a driver from the hotel, which was much better price then the taxis overall on the island and everything went smooth. Only thing is the position, even with recommendations from the host I could not find a decent place to eat. I walked down the beach, which is close, but did not want to wander too far and have found only a local kitchen with no options. I stayed before in Gibson Bight, so this place seemed a bit far from everything to me.

The house is very nice, clean, it met my expectations. It would be good to put a screen in the living room when you have children. I hope to return

Giselle's breakfast and consistently warm welcome made every day start off right.

I really enjoyed my stay at Isaiah and Tatiana's place, it felt like home! The kitchen is well equiped. Just a 10 mins walk to the beach with a handful of restaurants along the way, a mini super for basic needs and a wonderful fruit stand nearby, their place is well located ans safe. I felt at ease leaving my motorcycle in their locked yard. The shared outside space was really comfortable and relaxing, I spent many mornings in the hamac reading or watching howler monkeys. Tatiana is a wonderful host and was very fast to reply to my messages. I would definitely stay here again!

Carlos was amazing, got us checked in quickly and was there for anything we needed! He definitely made our stay!! The rooms have an amazing view and are a good size and very comfortable. Our only issue while staying was the wifi but I believe that was a one off issue. The walk to town is about 10/15 mins but very steep hills on the way up, however Carlos often offers to pop to town for food, drinks, takeaways or whatever you need. We were really happy with our stay!! thank you

Very good value for money, the only thing I have to say that the wifi was wrong, everything else was excellent. I highly recommend it!

A BEAUTIFUL oasis and amazing deal. We felt so welcomed by the staff working there, especially Amanda. The grounds were stunning with plans through, the pool was a treat! Breakfast was made fresh and delicious. We loved our private shower outside the room. The yoga studio was stunning and such a great class. Short walk to the beach and local restaurants. We'll be back!

We had an unforgettable experience at Fede's beautiful property. It was a family trip with several children, who enjoyed every corner to the fullest. As a mother, I felt completely at ease thanks to the security of the place, which is felt in every detail. The proximity to the sea is a gift: the sound of the waves accompanied us like a natural lullaby throughout the stay. One of the treasures of the place is a majestic Guanacaste tree, the national symbol of Costa Rica. Its shade is a delightful refuge, a true lung that renews the air and invites us to stop, breathe, and connect. It was our favorite place to rest and share. Fede was always attentive, with a kind and respectful presence that made us feel at home. Definitely a place we want to return to. Thank you so much!

We had a wonderful stay at Puka Retreat. The space was furnished very thoughtfully with all the needed amenities. The semi-outdoor kitchen was an especially nice touch that made us feel right at home. The managers, Belinda and Rolando were always responsive and very helpful. The stay is near the beautiful Playa Avellanas beach, which is so lovely to visit especially in the mornings.

Beautiful place very close to the beach! Host gave clear instructions for check-in. For a moment the water went out but the co-host quickly solved the problem.

The place was amazing, beautiful, clean, in a quiet environment. Virivka was available and the owners were very friendly and impressed. I definitely recommend this place 👍

This was a nice getaway to rest from the activities of the day. Koni was very sweet and welcoming. Had a really good time!

Great spot for a central location with easy access by driving to playa avellanas and playa negra. short walk to beach, just across the street. kitchen is nice, pool fun for kids. AC and wifi worked great. Great value. would stay again.

We stayed at Carlos’ place for 10 nights and it had everything we needed. It was important to us to be able to cook our own meals and we had everything we needed to do that. It was a close to drive to everything and only took 10 minutes or so to get anywhere, location was perfect for us. The drive was easy and the place was easily accessible by car. The neighbours are very close, although we never saw them, we could hear them- but it wasn’t bothersome at all. Felt very safe and comfortable. If your looking for something that’s close to everything, is simple, safe and affordable- this is it! Also, Carlos was really great to communicate with. We didn’t have any issues, but had questions about places to go and things to see and he gave us SO much information that might have otherwise been hard to find on our own!

This was a great stay for two. Needs to note that you have to say a full week for cleaning services but still accommodate us very well will definitely be back

If you are looking for privacy, a super cool climate, nature and fresh air. I highly recommend Cerro Azul Las Vistas. It meets all these requirements and much more. Take advantage of this place to the fullest. It's totally worth it🍃.

The location is walking distance to the grocery store, city center and beach. The neighborhood is safe and away from the crowd. Parking space is available. We enjoyed the bbq for prepping meals. The pool is fabulous. Tip #1: Go have lunch at Chaki Café, the girls are incredibly friendly and the food is fresh and amazing. Tip #2: For grocery shopping go to Super China Samara. Tip #3: Gusto Beach, you get a chair and an umbrella if you spend a minimum of $20. It’s well worth it. Try the ginger limonade.

Place is nice, cozy and as described. It's located in a beautiful property surrounded by nature. It's peaceful and the best part is the beach just steps away. We experienced some unplanned inconveniences out of our control but the host did his best to help us with everything.

Great private container home about 5 mins from Potrero beach.

Yahayra and his family were very kind to welcome us, and cared about an older adult we went with so he could have all the comforts. The place has many social areas and in the evenings there is a nice view, highly recommended.

We had a great few days in bungalow 1. Everything was very clean, also very stylishly furnished. The terrace with the outdoor kitchen was a dream, the mattresses super comfortable. We were completely comfortable! Within walking distance there was a fruit and vegetable stand, where you could shop very cheaply, which was very convenient. Communication also went smoothly. After we said after the first night that the pillows were unfortunately much too thick for us, we were immediately brought thinner pillows, which was really very thoughtful.

A very peaceful place, surrounded by nature—super clean and organized, with all the necessary utensils, just right to feel at home. The location is key, as it’s close to many of the best beaches and just 5 minutes from Manzanillo. Totally recommended!

Uri was a huge help, great manager. Always got us what we needed then and there. Juan Pablo was great as well, always answered any questions immediately and made our stay super easy. Nice kitchen and everything you need for a long term stay. Walking distance to the beach, both grocery stores and Dog Town. Already planning our next trip back!

Thanks to all the times I have stayed in this apartment Los Destiladeros, I have decided to retire in this area because, not only is it extremely beautiful but also very quiet and safe. It is very exciting to be able to appreciate how the landscape changes from the golden (dry) season to the green (rainy) season. The hosts, Chelín and Dany, always make the stay very cozy and special. I can't help but think that every time I come here, I feel at home. They are definitely a source of inspiration, both for how they live and for their home and temporary accommodation.
